About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Constructed of stainless steel and aluminum, the Le Creuset 3-Ply can be used on an induction stovetop

Constructed of stainless steel and aluminum, the Le Creuset 3-Ply can be used on an induction stovetop. It simmers steadily and is roomy enough to hold a chicken and lots of veggies, making this skillet a good choice for cooking one-dish dinners. Do be prepared to spend some time cleaning the finish though, if you want to keep it looking pristine.
